Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.”

—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
